Bow below bearspaw dam
Has anyone fished the bow below bearspaw dam in the last few days? I plan to go there this afternoon.
Any input would be helpful.
Thanks,

im leaving in about 20 min. I'll be below the dam pretty much right across from the parking spot at the dog walk park.
Good luck with the whites.

Oh, and a rapala reel spool with 20 feet of line....weird.

I fished Saturday, a ways downstream from the dam. I was across from the Valley Ridge golf course. I caught 1 nice white fish on magots. Fished for about 6 hours. Good day of baking in the sun. The fish was a bonus.

end of the furthest upstream parking lot, across from the water outlet, cast as far out as you can and bottom bounce, lots of big whites right there

If you can still access this stretch, mind you it's not exactly below bearspaw, it used to be fantastic just before freeze up or really frosty mornings, haven't been since I was a kid. tiny spinners,, great for rockies and rainbows.

Almost everyone ive helped learn how to indicator fish, ive taken to the pump house below Bearspaw. Just take the Alazar Temple road and continue down the dirt road between the tracks and the river. The golf course pump house is directly across from this pumphouse too.
The run is full of fish and a great place to teach newby chuck and duck fisherpeople.
Be warned there is alot of toothless wonders
